Objective: To investigate factors influencing perioperative blood transfusion in patients with scarred uterus during pregnancy undergoing cesarean section, construct and validate a transfusion risk prediction model, and provide evidence for preoperative assessment and blood management. Methods: Clinical data of 405 patients undergoing cesarean section for scarred uterus during pregnancy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2020 to December 2024 were retrospectively collected. The dataset was randomly divided into a training set (n=284) and a validation set (n=121) at a 7∶3 ratio. Within the training set, Firth-penalized logistic regression was employed for multivariate analysis to identify independent factors influencing perioperative blood transfusion and construct a predictive model. Model performance was evaluated in the validation set. Results: Multivariate Firth regression analysis showed that severe placenta previa (OR=75.566, 95%CI: 8.603-9979.174) and placenta accreta (OR=4.591, 95%CI: 1.120-19.416) were independent risk factors for perioperative blood transfusion, while preoperative red blood cell count (OR=0.189, 95%CI: 0.083-0.405) and fibrinogen levels (OR=0.588, 95%CI: 0.395-0.855) were protective factors. The predictive model constructed based on these four variables demonstrated good discriminatory performance, with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of 0.803 (95%CI: 0.740-0.867) and 0.753 (95%CI: 0.644-0.862) in the training and validation sets, respectively. Conclusion: For patients with scarred uterus during pregnancy undergoing cesarean section, severe placenta previa and placenta accreta significantly increase the risk of transfusion, while higher preoperative red blood cell count and fibrinogen levels exert a protective effect. The predictive model established in this study facilitates the identification of patients requiring transfusion, thereby enabling preoperative blood preparation and optimized blood management.

BACKGROUND:Currently,miR-196b-5p has been found to play a role in cell proliferation,migration and inhibition of scar hyperplasia,but there is a lack of relevant studies on whether it plays a role in the process of wound healing.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of miR-196b-5p in adipose stem cell-derived exosomes on burn wound healing.METHODS:The models of deep second degree skin burn in SD rats were established and randomly divided into four groups:blank control group,exosome group,agomiR-196b-5p group,and exosome+antagomiR-196b-5p group,with 10 rats in each group.PBS,adipose-derived stem cell-derived exosomes,miR-196b-5p agonist,and miR-196b-5p inhibitor were injected around the wound according to different groups.Wound healing was observed immediately after injury and on days 7,14,and 21 after injury.On day 7 after surgery,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the expression of inflammation in the wound surface.On day 14 after suregery,Masson staining was used to observe the expression of collagen and immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of CD31 in the wound surface.On day 7 after surgery,western blot assay was performed to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen in the wound surface.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The wound healing was faster in the agomiR-196b-5p group,while it was slower in the blank control group and the exosome+antagomiR-196b-5p group.(2)Compared with the blank control group and the exosome+antagomiR-196b-5p group,the wound infiltration of inflammatory cells was less in the exosome group and the agomiR-196b-5p group,and the expression of CD31 was significantly increased(P＜0.01).(3)Compared with the blank control group and the exosome+antagomiR-196b-5p group,the expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin and type Ⅰ collagen were increased in the exosome group and the agomiR-196b-5p group(P＜0.05).These findings indicate that miR-196b-5p in adipose stem cell-derived exosomes can promote burn wound healing in rats.

Targeted covalent inhibitors,primarily targeting cysteine residues,have attracted great attention as potential drug candidates due to good potency and prolonged duration of action.However,their dis-covery is challenging.In this research,a database-assisted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spec-trometry(LC-MS/MS)strategy was developed to quickly discover potential cysteine-targeting compounds.First,compounds with potential reactive groups were selected and incubated with N-acetyl-cysteine in microsomes.And the precursor ions of possible cysteine-adducts were predicted based on covalent binding mechanisms to establish in-house database.Second,substrate-independent product ions produced from N-acetyl-cysteine moiety were selected.Third,multiple reaction monitoring scan was conducted to achieve sensitive screening for cysteine-targeting compounds.This strategy showed broad applicability,and covalent compounds with diverse structures were screened out,offering structural resources for covalent inhibitors development.Moreover,the screened compounds,norket-amine and hydroxynorketamine,could modify synaptic transmission-related proteins in vivo,indicating their potential as covalent inhibitors.This experimental-based screening strategy provides a quick and reliable guidance for the design and discovery of covalent inhibitors.

This study aims to investigate the changes in blood biochemical indicators of tongue roll-ing(TR)behavior in cattle and their correlation with changes in oral microbiota,laying a founda-tion for further exploring the relationship between animal oral microbiota,biochemical indicators,and behavioral changes.It also provides theoretical basis for preventing and treating TR behavior through regulating oral microbiota.This study intends to analyze and compare the blood biochemi-cal indicators and changes in oral microbiota of cattle with TR behavior and healthy cattle without TR behavior(healthy control,H),in order to explore the blood biochemical indicators of TR cattle and their correlation with changes in oral microbiota.Blood samples from the caudal vein of cattle in each group were collected for the detection of blood biochemical indicators and stress-related hormone indicators.Oral swabs from cattle in each group were collected for 16S rRNA gene se-quencing to analyze the composition,structure,and functional changes of their oral microbiota.The results of blood biochemical indicators in H and TR groups showed that the concentrations of al-bumin(ALB),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),calcium ion(Ca2+),and cortisol in TR group were significantly higher than those in H group(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in beta diversity of oral microbiota between TR and H groups(P＜0.05).At the genus level,the rela-tive abundances of Pseudomonas,Enterobacter,Xanthomonas,and other genera in the oral micro-biota of TR group were significantly higher than those in H group(P＜0.05).However,the rela-tive abundances of Tessaracoccus,Turicibacter,Monoglobus,Dietzia,Bifidobacterium,and other genera in the oral microbiota of TR group were significantly lower than those in H group(P＜0.05).In the KEGG metabolic pathway at the third level,the relative abundances of thiamine me-tabolism,lipoate metabolism,cysteine and methionine metabolism in the oral microbiota of TR group were significantly lower than those in H group(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that ALB and AST were significantly positively correlated with the relative abundances of Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas.Therelative abundances of Pseudomonas,Stenotrophomonas,and Sphingomonas were significantly positively correlated with fatty acid metabolism,phosphate and phosphonate metabolism,and lipoate metabolism.ALB was significantly positively correlated with inositol phosphate metabolism and phosphate and phosphonate metabolism.The study found that there were significant differences in blood biochemical indicators and oral microbiota between TR and H groups.In addition,there is a certain correlation between the composition,structure,and function of oral microbiota and the biochemical function of the host.This indicates that TR behav-ior may be associated with changes in the biochemical indicators of the host and the composition,structure,and function of oral microbiota.

This study was aimed at establishing a method of ultra-fast quantitative PCR for Brucella detection.We used an exogenous recombinant plasmid as the internal reference and targeted the T4SS secretion system,an important Brucella viru-lence factor,to design specific primers and probes.The sensitivity,specificity,and repeatability of this method were evaluated,and a standard curve was constructed.The coincidence rate of detection findings with this method versus quantitative PCR was determined.This method markedly decreased the detection time to only 10 minutes.The standard curve demonstrated a good linear relationship(Y=-3.410 7x+38.357,R2=0.998 5)with a low minimum detection limit of 10 copies/μL.The method exhibited good specificity and did not specifically amplify several common clinical bacteria other than Brucella.The de-tection of three concentrations of positive plasmids yielded coefficients of variation(CVs)of 0.20％to 0.91％,thus demonstra-ting the method's excellent repeatability.Furthermore,140 clinical samples were analyzed concurrently with the fluorescence PCR method,which yielded a 100％compliance rate and consistent results.Our findings indicated that the Brucella ultra-fast quantitative PCR was ultrafast;had high sensitivity,high specificity,and good specificity;and can be used for the clinical de-tection of Brucella and emergency investigation of epidemics.Therefore,this method is valuable for the early diagnosis of Bru-cella.

BackgroundThe prevalence of depression is elevated in elderly patients with diabetes， underscoring the critical importance of implementing early psychological intervention to improve their clinical outcomes.However， the cognitive function level of patients may limit the implementation of these intervention methods. While prior research has predominantly focused on interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy to mitigate the depressive symptoms in this demographic， the exploration of group reminiscence therapy as a therapeutic approach remains underrepresented in the existing literature. ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of group reminiscence therapy on depressive symptoms， cognitive function， and quality of life in elderly patients with diabetes and mild to moderate depression， so as to provide valuable insights for psychological intervention of elderly diabetic patients. MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted to recruit 80 elderly diabetic patients with mild to moderate depression attending the endocrine clinic of Northeast International Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023. Subjects were randomly allocated to either the study group or the control group using the random number table method， with 40 cases in each group. Both groups received standard diabetes care and mental health education. Additionally， the study group participated in an 8-week group reminiscence therapy intervention， convening once weekly for 1.5 hours per session. Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item （HAMD-24）， Wisconsin Card Sorting Test （WCST）， Verbal Fluency Test （VFT）， Stroop Color Word Test （SCWT） and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 （GQOLI-74） were administered before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention， the study group exhibited a significantly lower HAMD-24 score compared with the control group （F=13.908， P<0.01）. The study group also demonstrated better performance in cognitive assessments， as evidenced by increased percentages of correct responses and conceptual-level responses on the WCST， a greater number of correct words on the VFT， and a higher number of accurate responses on the SCWT， all in contrast to the control group （F=14.672， 17.000， 13.309， 21.672， P<0.01）. The study group reported superior quality of life outcomes， with higher total GQOLI-74 scores and significant improvements in the domains of physical function， social function， psychological function， and material life status compared with the control group （F=33.098， 41.224， 16.320， 19.432， P<0.01）. ConclusionGroup reminiscence therapy has the potential to alleviate depressive symptoms， enhance cognitive function and improve quality of life in elderly diabetic patients with mild to moderate depression.

A method for simultaneous determination of 21 kinds of Aconitum alkaloids(ATS)in biological specimens and infused liquor using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)was developed.The biological samples were pretreated with methanol-acetonitrile(1∶2,V/V)for protein precipitation,while infused liquors were diluted 100-fold with acetonitrile,followed by centrifugation,and filtration by a 0.22-μm membrane.Chromatographic separation was carried out on an EC-C18 column using gradient elution with the mixture of 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate and 0.2%formic acid as mobile phase A and acetonitrile as mobile phase B.With this method,all the analytes were separated within 9.5 min.The samples were detected in positive ESI mode with dynamic multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)and quantified via external standard calibration.The results showed that the concentrations of the analytes in the range of 2-1000 ng/mL had excellent linearity(R2>0.9992)with the peak area.The developed method was successfully used for detection of 21 kinds of aconitum alkaloids,with limits of detection of 0.5-2 ng/mL,quantification limits of 2-6 ng/mL,intra/inter-day precision≤6.0%,spiked recoveries of 89.4%-100.9%,extraction recoveries of 74.2%-104.4%,and matrix effects ranging from-11.1%to 9.2%in blood/urine.The method was applied to detection of 12 samples from 4 fatal aconite poisoning cases,and all 21 kinds of ATS with total alkaloid concentrations of 0.04-4.18 μg/mL in blood and 154.96-422.83 μg/mL in medicinal liquors were detected.Tissue distribution revealed that the order of concentrations from highest to lowest is as follows:urine(157.22 μg/mL)>gastric contents(51.37 μg/mL)>kidney(21.6 μg/g)>whole blood(4.18 μg/mL)>liver(0.03 μg/g).This method showed many advantages such as simple pretreatment,low detection limits,accurate quantification,broad analyte coverage,and superior anti-interference capability in complex matrices,proving ideal for forensic and toxicological analysis of aconitum alkaloids.
